Memorial Day Events 2022

Click on the images to view gallery. What an honor to present the wreath at the Antelope Valley Healing and Honor Field Ceremony, honoring those who gave all to protect our nation. Some may see the wreath as a circle of life and death because of its circular shape but today it was paced to honor all our fallen heroes. Here are the representatives of women from our veterans groups that carried the wreath, Megan Hilzendeger for Vets4Veterans, Michele Schottelkorb for Point Man, and Atherine Blanco for Coffee4VETS, Inc. and Spunky Sparks for Antelope Valley Veteran’s Community Action Coalition. Great job ladies. The wreath was design by Atherine Blanco with the support of Tina Pullum. Big thank to Stacia Nemeth for putting this team together. See you in 2023.
